The Boston man wanted for the killing of his ex-wife, whose body was found in her Stoughton home over the weekend, is in custody, police said Monday morning.

State police and Stoughton police confirmed that Willie Foster, 47, of Dorchester, was apprehended Monday morning in Boston at about 7:30 a.m.

“He has been taken into custody; we have officers going in their right now,” Stoughton Deputy Chief Robert Devine said around 8 a.m.

Neither state police nor Stoughton police would release further details about his arrest early Monday morning.

Authorities issued a warrant for Foster’s arrest after police found the body of Anita Clark, his ex-wife, in the closet of her home on Glen Echo Boulevard Saturday night around 7:20 p.m., with what looked to be stab wounds.

Clark and Foster have two children together, ages 15 and 6; authorities said they do not believe either were home when Clark was killed.

Police were first called to the address for a well-being check, at the urging of friends and work colleagues.

Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s office could not be reached early Monday morning.
